Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월이 깊이 응축된 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔 속에 그윽하게 잠겨 있다. 1961년에 증류되어 무려 반세기를 셰리 호그스헤드에서 보낸 글렌파클라스는 말린 무화과와 대추야자, 묵은 가죽과 오래된 나무의 향을 깊고 둥글게 피워올린다. 47도의 도수가 입안에서 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 향신료의 풍미를 진하게 풀어내며 비단처럼 매끄럽게 흐른다. 50년의 시간이 빚은 원숙함이 또렷하고 여운에는 마른 과일과 오크가 끝없이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
frankly, this is the exact opposite of the venerable Glenury as far as old glories are concerned. It’s much heavier, much more typically oloroso, with loads of prunes and, well, dozens of fruitcakes, raspberry jam, strawberry jam, milk chocolate, Seville oranges and Demerara sugar plus the usual touches of bacon, wood smoke and coffee-schnapps. Yet, it’s certainly not cloying! Ultra typical old sherried Glenfarclas, but a true sherry monster? Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
you bet! Ultra-heavy wood and sherry influence, very extreme. Pipe juice, blackcurrant buds, cherry stems (and liqueur), grape pips and orange zests, all that at full strength. Also heavy liquorice. Takes no prisoners, as they say. Or maybe your tongue? ;-)
timer Finish
extremely long, on the very same notes. Becomes almost cabernetty in the aftertaste (green pepper, blackcurrant)
